    A5 Wagyu Maze Soba
    Kev H.

    I recently tried Marufuku Ramen in Walnut Creek, so I didn't feel an urgent need to visit the Dublin location. But I wanted to take my parents there, and I'm so glad I did because I had no idea they offered a Dublin exclusive menu item, the Wagyu Mazesoba, $20 as of July 2026. It's a brothless mixing ramen with chopped Wagyu beef, thick noodles, soft, boiled, egg, green onions, red on, garlic chip, Kaiware (which are daikon radish sprouts), and a side of chili oil and vinegar. This ended up being something I super duper enjoyed. The noodles were thick, chewy, and incredibly bouncy. Even without adding the chili oil, the bowl was already packed with flavor. At the bottom of the bowl was this rich, savory sauce/oil that coated every strand of noodles perfectly. The Wagyu beef was marinated and cooked beautifully, and it paired so well with the noodles. I also really enjoyed the soft boiled egg. With that said, if only they offered a raw egg yolk as an option, I honestly think this could rival Kajiken. The whole dining experience was wonderful because the service was excellent too. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I also really liked the atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant. It felt bright, spacious, clean, and well organized. The air conditioning was especially great on a hot summer day. Overall, it was a really enjoyable dining experience.

    Average food, not as good as expected but really nice interior, bathroom, and dishes and excellent kids menu. Therefore 4 stars. Friendly and attentive service at first, later on less attentive. (3 star food, 5 star interior, 4 star service) Kids menu very good $10 for a choice of small bowl of ramen vs chasu rice bowl, karaage chicken 2 piece, handful of fries (ok), honest juice box, pineapple jelly dessert. And gatcha coin! Free toy bracelets and cars. Katsu curry- crispy pork Katsu with nice creamy Japanese curry and perfect short grain rice with fukushinzuke. 5/5 Gyoza - great, not deep fried, very juicy and classic Japanese taste. Perfect sauce 5/5 Salad - disappointingly bland. Had a small bug in my salad which was fine, but the flavor was just ok. Had cut bell peppers, half tomatoes, and onions. 3/5 comes with a sweet plum dressing and tuna broth soy dressing. Tonkotsu broth- disappointing bland. Needs more flavor. 2/5 Karaage - dry and not flavorful. 1/5

    Our server today was very attentive, I think his name is Nathan. Wavy short hair with glasses. The weekday lunch crowd started to be packed around 12:17pm. The sizzling chicken leg is as good as the many times that I went or the Oakland location. The 'new to me' Waygu Dried Noodle was very good. Might be even better if pieces of Waygu was lightly bigger and two or three more pieces. Then the combo between meat and noodles will be perfect! Chicken Karaage was good. Huge difference when a server is doing his job with heart and attentiveness or not. Huge shoutout! Ambiance is always nice. Clean bright and huge store. Will come again for the dry noodle special.

    Loved that we were getting a ramen place in the Tri-Valley ! I've had Marafuku in Oakland so my expectations were quite high. I do really like that they have the waitlist option on yelp so we didn't have to wait too long on a Friday night. The restaurant aesthetic was modern contemporary and had lots of tables and a bar seating area. The servers were fast and attentive. I ended up getting the gyoza and the Hakata Tonkotsu DX. This is where it fell short for me. The crust on the gyoza wasn't crispy, it tasted burnt and had a chewy sticky texture to it despite the looks of it. The noodles and the egg were overcooked. I asked for ultra spicy but it tasted very mild even with the chili oil. The broth itself is very creamy which I liked but it just felt lacking.

    I am so happy that Marilou Ramen opened a new restaurant in Dublin . I used to go to their San Diego restaurant and San Francisco Japan town restaurant whenever I visited those cities . I love their rich broth and the curved ridge of the ceramic bowl , that is their signature look of ramen bowls . I ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen: Char Siu pork belly was simmered , green onion , seaweed , seasoned soft boil egg , kikuyu mushroom and bean sprouts. You can add extra toppings for a fee . There are some interesting drinks on the menu like rainbow peach or lychee soda , melon cream soda and Sakura lemonade. There are other options in the menu besides ramen ( curry rice , small bites , mazesoba with Wagyu beef , etc ) Spice powder can be requested to come on the side ( very spicy ) . Now they have gluten- free noodles . A must try Ramen restaurant for the good food and good service ! Parking is just at the front door. It does get filled up by lunch time. There are only more parking in the back of the plaza .

    Chicken Karaage
    Kristina B.

    Glad to see a good ramen spot open up in the area! The lines looked long for dinner on a Friday around 5:30pm, so definitely get on that waitlist online as soon as it's available. The restaurant opened for dinner at 5pm, got on the waitlist at 5:15pm, and were seated by 6pm. Their Chicken Karaage appetizer was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and crispy. The tangy dipping sauce was perfect. The Hakata Tonkotsu DX ramen was delicious and the broth was well-balanced and perfectly rich, without being too much. The texture of the noodles is not my preference. I prefer more of a bouncy, chewy texture. But the tender meat, toppings, and broth were my favorite. Friendly service! Expect it to be busy, loud, & a little chaotic inside. Would love to come back to try their specialty items and other dishes.

    So glad to see that more hot restaurants are opening in our area. Marafuku Dublin has a modern interior, fast service, and a solid menu. We shared the tonkotsu ramen and wagyu mazesoba. The ramen was fine but I did wish the noodles were more firm- they quickly got overly soft for my liking. The mazesoba was TOO good. I hope it's a constant staple on the menu. Overall- awesome spot in this area to satisfy the craving.

    went on a sat night and was able to join waitlist on yelp so got seated a few minutes after we arrived which was rly nice. the server came over right away and the food came out shortly after we ordered. there was two of us so we got a large salad to share and the portion size was pretty generous. they also gave us both of the sauce options on the side which was nice but i think they gave way too much as the sauce was quite salty and it felt a bit wasteful. the salad itself was a simple spring mix garnished with cherry tomatoes, onions, and some yellow bell pepper if i rmb correctly. for the ramen we both got the spicy tantan which came with green onion, an egg, the ground chicken, spring mix, and bean sprouts. overall i'd say it was a decent bowl of ramen but nothing special imo. it was quite salty and heavy which i suppose is pretty authentic. unfortunately it's just not my preferred style of ramen.

    We were in the area for a doctor's appointment and Marufuku happened to be conveniently located right across from PAMF. It wasn't busy when we arrived around 2pm so we were seated promptly. Both my daughter and I ordered the hakata tonkotsu but I had mine with spinach noodles. Broth was good not too salty. I appreciated that red pepper was available at each table so you can customize your own spice levels.

    Super great food ! My food was PERFECTLY spicy ! I was able to swap out the ground chicken for pork and it was delicious! It was perfect! The beef was delicious! I went with like 7 cousins and they were great . Service was amazing. It took only 20 minutes to get seated . ( we had 8 people total so I get it ) The servers were all super patient and kind . The whole place looked super cute and authentic. Would definitely recommend this place again !

    Delicious traditional style Japanese ramen and appetizers nestled in a plaza with other Asian restaurants. The staff is friendly and attentive. It didn't take us long at all to place our orders, and the server made sure that he communicated our dietary restrictions to the chef. Everything tasted great, and the restaurant carried a casual upscale feel to it. I'll definitely be back!

    I recommend adding yourself to the yelp waitlist before you drive over to the establishment. Once I arrived and was seated, I asked a lot of questions about the menu and asked the waiter to give an overview about the menu. They gave a great overview on what the specialties are and the style of ramen. They also detailed the drink options. It felt very lively and bustling. I sat at the bar style seating (there must be a better name for that). I got the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen. The chashu was very tasty; it tasted light but hearty. Overall the ramen was very balanced and hearty and a perfect single person meal in terms of proportion. I believe this is the best ramen spot in the trivalley possibly.

    A5 Wagyu Maze Soba
    Katie M.

    Great to see that they opened in Dublin. Don't forget to join Yelp waitlist before heading over, it can save you a significant amount of waiting time. Despite how busy the restaurant gets, they run a very efficient operation. Service was friendly, attentive, and impressively fast from start to finish. Our food arrived quickly, and the staff did a great job keeping everything moving without making the experience feel rushed. The standout for me was the wagyu mazesoba. The brothless noodle dish was packed with flavor, rich and savory without being overly heavy. The noodles had the perfect texture and held up well against the sauce. We also ordered the squid appetizer, which was cooked nicely and great for sharing. Definitely worth checking out, can't wait for my next visit.

    To be honest, it is difficult to predict. But my suggestion is to get there early and expect a 15 to 25 minutes wait, depending on the time you arrive (whether it is during peak lunch time or dinner time). Good luck!

A lot of ramen places take pride in presentation but Fujiwara called it a day and sent it out. I was skeptical until I took my first bite. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very good and not heavily seasoned with salt. I enjoyed it. Will definitely come back.

Albeit I am a vegetarian and I got the veggie ramen with tofu, mushrooms, corn, bean sprouts and a boiled egg on the side. I also opted for the creamy version of their veggie broth and loved it.

I haven't tried their other options though I do know they offer other Hawaiian bbq staples (I saw a number of people ordering those to-go). Not sure how those are... but I'm happy to report their ramen does the job. Happy gals!

Looking at the menu, I know I had to try their signature ramen as well as a delicious appetizer. Chicken Karaage: This was delicious and crispy. The chicken was also moist and the Mayo sauce was good. I really enjoyed how the chicken was not oily at all and it was packed with flavor. This was a delicious starter. Hiroshi Tonkotsu Ramen: This is their signature ramen. It is a pork broth ramen filled with thinner noodles, an egg, bamboo, mushrooms, scallions and some truffle oil of sort, and not to mention two pieces of pork. Overall, this was a delicious broth. The soup was not too salty for me and the flavor was divine. The noodles were a bit thin for my liking, but still good. My only gripe was that once the broth settles and you eat most of everything, I cannot sip my broth due to the grainy texture I get at the end. Overall, I had a good time here with my friend and her boyfriend. I see myself coming back here again.

    I haven't been here in a few years. Maybe more. But earlier this week we were craving cold udon,…read morehaving come back from Hawaii, and did a Yelp search. Who knew they had it here . Ordered takeout since we were so tired after tennis. It was nice that they have a seperate door to pick up take out so while I waited on the curbside DD ran into pick up. Easy peasy. When we got home we immediately inhaled it. Loved how they separated the filling from the udon and packed the broth separately. Poached egg was creamy still and blended well with the beef and noodles. We came back again yesterday but wanted to actually dine in. There were no longer long lines from when we last dined in years ago. The line went smoothly and the lady was quick and efficient to take our orders and even gathered Hubs' take out rice bowl for later. The gal at the pick up windown was also proficient as her job and even telling me my clams and ginger udon had just ran out so she gave me a number for my table. The tempura station was always one of my favorites. They just ran out of imitation crab but we snagged the last shrimp tempura. Also got a sweet potato and my favorite, pumpkin . 4/5 crunchy not too oily and naturally sweet. No sauce needed We found a table right away which was wiped clean. DD was half way through her udon when mine barely arrived. After the first sip of broth, it quickly reminded me of why we haven't been back in so long. Warm soup vs piping hot. That's why. Fresh cooked clams and butter ginger melted into the broth was a nice change from the usual. The taste was great and flavorful. Clams were blanched nicely with a few unopened shells that I didn't eat. There was also a few with some sand inside which was expected for a fast foodie style place where clam is ordered. 3.5/5 The other downside from the overall dish for both of us was the over sprinkling of green onions. It left a literal bad taste in both our mouths. Clean restrooms. Overall, 3.5

    This is a legit Japanese restaurant located inside Stoneridge Mall across from Mens Warehouse…read more However, once I walked inside, it reminded me of restaurants I visited in Japan. I came here for lunch just as they opened and was seated immediately. You scan a QR code on the table for the menu, which was overwhelming. There are so many categories and choices within each category: sushi, ramen, bento boxes, hot dishes, oysters, small plates, and more. We chose from their Lunch specials: + Nigiri lunch - you get 6 nigiris and several maki rolls (chef's choice). All were so fresh and delicious, and beautifully presented. + Chirashi Don - freshly cut fish, roe, and a few veggies over perfectly cooked sushi rice. + Soup & Salad - this came with our lunches. The miso soup was very good and not salty like most. The salad had a vinaigrette dressing with an herb I can't put my finger on. It was very refreshing. The lunches were in the $30 range, which is a bit steep. I'd definitely come back here for celebrations.

Salmon belly nigiri - 5/5: very fresh, melt in your mouth. Hamachi belly nigiri - 5/5: again very fresh, melt in your mouth Salmon nigiri - 4/5: had to see what the regular salmon tasted like. Was very good compared to others I've had in the area. Chu Toro nigiri - 5/5: as you would expect, very fresh melt in your mouth. Chicken thigh skewer - 4/5: good served weigh onions in between. Pork belly skewer - 4/5: very good, tender and juicy. Seasoned just right. Ribeye skewer - 3/5: this was not as tender as I expected. Would skip this next time. Scallop skewer - 4/5: good char and seasoned right. Overall service was decent. My wife did have to ask for hot tea twice before getting it. Other than that, service was available when waved over. The food itself was very good, half star minus for the missed tea. I would defiant try this place again. I'm

    Since moving to the tri valley this has been my wife and I's Favorite sit down/quick dumpling style…read morerestaurant. Super affordable and everything has been good. Smaller restaurant, maybe 10-14 total tables. Light decor. With a see through window into the kitchen. When you enter you are pointed to a table. They drop down menus but you walk to the cashier to order. We ordered the following: Popcorn chicken Crab and pork xiao long bao (8) Lo mein Pan fried pork buns (4) Popcorn chicken doesn't feel like they skimp and have good size chunks of chicken. Feels like Taiwanese fried chicken from your local boba shop. Xiao long bao was the star of the order, solid soup dumplings with great filling and broth. Pan fried pork buns, second favorite dish. Similiar as in a broth on the interior but purely pork. The bun is more of a softer bread you would get in like siopao in Filipino dishes. Quick service, food comes out quick, and plenty of portions that we eventually take home left overs. Staff is friendly and quick to clear tables. Highly recommend to stop by.

    I don't even know where to begin other than to say how disappointed I am with this restaurant…read more While I was seated and looking over the menu, a worker who I believe was a chef came up to my table, pointed at the beef noodle soup, and told me it was 50% off. My friend and I heard the same thing! However, when it came time to pay, I was charged full price. When I brought it up and even pointed out the worker, the staff claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. At that point, I just let it go but honestly, it didn't get any better from there. Every dish we ordered was bland, lacked flavor, and wasn't consistent at all. To make matters worse, I noticed something concerning near the cashier. They were refilling the water jug using what looked like a used plastic container that didn't appear clean or sanitary, which was really off-putting. Overall, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, both in terms of service and food quality.
